OneWordStudy+FollowYou Did Everything Right. And Life Still Turned Out This Way. You followed the rules. You stayed in church. You prayed. You didn’t walk away when others did. And yet, this is not the ending you imagined. The Bible has a word for this kind of quiet disappointment: hevel. Often translated as “vanity,” it really means breath. Something real, but impossible to hold. Ecclesiastes wasn’t written by a rebel. It was written by someone who did everything right—and still felt let down. If part of you wonders, “Was it supposed to be more than this?” That question is not unbelief. It’s biblical honesty. God did not rebuke Solomon for asking it. He preserved the question in Scripture. #BibleReflection #Ecclesiastes #HebrewWord #FaithAfter50 #SpiritualDisappointment20Share
The Verse You Skipped+FollowI skipped Ecclesiastes 4. I didn’t realize it was about loneliness. Ecclesiastes 4 sounds philosophical. Oppression. Labor. Vanity. But verse 8 stopped me cold. A man works endlessly. No family. No companion. No one to share it with. And the question hangs there: “For whom am I toiling?” This chapter isn’t abstract. It’s painfully human. It reminded me that success without connection still feels empty. And God sees that emptiness clearly. #BibleStudy #TheVerseYouSkipped #Ecclesiastes #Loneliness #LifeReflection #ScriptureInsight232Share
